Pornhub Parent Company Changes Name in Attempt to Sanitize Image

A few days ago, Pornhub's parent company, MindGeek, rebranded to "Aylo" in a desperate attempt to sanitize its image. A MindGeek executive was quoted saying the name change is intended to give their employees "a fresh start" and "correct misinformation and public perception about the company."

What misinformation, you may ask? What public perception? 

Oh. Do they perhaps mean the stacks of survivor testimonies, lawsuits, investigations, mainstream news articles, and other evidence demonstrating how MindGeek/Porhub has facilitated and profited from child sexual abuse, rape, sex trafficking, and other sexual crimes? 

Yup, sounds about right.

MindGeek can call itself Aylo if it likes. But they are still the same exploitative company.

📣 ACTION: Demand that the Pornography Industry Verify Age and Consent!

Pornhub and all platforms that disseminate pornography MUST verify the age and meaningful consent of all individuals depicted in their videos. Until they do this, child sexual abuse material, sex trafficking, rape, and other image-based sexual abuse will continue to fester on these sites. 

Sign the petition calling for meaningful age and consent verification now!

VICTORY! Google Blurs Explicit Images and Improves Reporting Procedures

Think back to the first time you, your child, or someone you care about was exposed to pornography.

If the experience you’re imagining tracks with available data, there’s a good chance the exposure was unintentional.

What was the effect of that first unintentional exposure? Did it burn distressing images into your/your loved one’s mind that couldn’t be erased? Did it set you/them on a path towards a destructive pornography addiction?

Now that you’ve imagined that experience … imagine it didn’t happen. Imagine wiping away all the negative effects that sprang from stumbling on pornography that first time.

This imaginary alternate reality can now be the actual reality for all future generations.

How, you may ask?

Because you joined us in calling on Google to prioritize safety, and they listened!  

Google is now blurring all sexually explicit images in Google Images search results—a change which we have been requesting for 10 years, and which they promised in February.

In addition, Google has made positive updates to their reporting and removal process for image-based sexual abuse, making the process more accessible and survivor-centered.
